revolver feels good and well balanced in my hand and also my wife's which was the recipient. The wife had problems with cocking an auto so a revolver was the logical choice. This one is lightweight and has the laser in the handle that is a real plus. firing is steady and easy to handle just as the .38 that was issued in the Air Force years ago. I only wish revolvers weren't so costly. (Posted on 9/4/2018)
